Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning Chapter 589 - 264 Xu Lu Takes Action

Ji Shuhua previously ntioned a friend who liked to wander to the ends of the earth, collecting rare treasures, was sowhat an unconventional figure in Jianghu.

And if that strange iron caught his interest, naturally, it must be extraordinary.

Ji Shuhua was entrusted by him to deliver this item to the Hidden Sword Hermit, and Su Mo was not clear about the relationship between them.

But it was evident that Ji Shuhua had made so mistakes on this trip, resulting in the leak of the strange iron affair.

Which in turn attracted covetous attempts to snatch it.

According to the current limited information, this Store Manager must be extrely wealthy, not an ordinary person of Jianghu.

If he were just an ordinary person of Jianghu, snatching this strange iron wouldn’t be of much use.

Unless he also knew an exceptional Blacksmith who could forge the strange iron into a Divine Weapon.

Otherwise, it would be less useful than a piece of bluestone when used to hit soone.

Mixing up in Jianghu, in the end, is nothing but for fa and profit.

This Store Manager is already so rich, he actually doesn’t need to use this strange iron to forge a Divine Weapon for fa.

So, it’s almost certain that his purpose for snatching this item is for so other sche.

What could such an item be used for otherwise?

Cannot be eaten or drunk, the only thing Su Mo could think of was to sell it.

Either sell directly, or forge it into a Divine Weapon first and then sell it.

The backing from this Store Manager, issuing such a high reward for this matter, shows that he held sothing of great value.

Otherwise, why would he spend so much?

Of course, it’s also possible that the one who snatched this item is a Blacksmith.

Wanting to take this great material back to forge a sword not weaker than any of the Ten Great Swords.

If he could really do it, that would indeed make a na for himself in Jianghu.

But no matter which kind it is, for Su Mo, the difference wouldn’t be too great.

Yang Xiaoyun, however, pondered on Su Mo’s words and finally nodded gently:

"You’re right, he could very well be a businessman."

"A businessman, of course, will value his business."

Su Mo said softly: "Ji Shuhua ca to Ziyang Escort Agency before he died; this won’t be a secret, it can’t be hidden from those who are determined. Now the person who blocked this road is not soone else but ... What do you think he will do next?"

"What do you think... he will do?"

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo looked helpless: "Sister Xiao Yun, when did you beco so cunning, clearly I was asking you."

"...This is not being cunning."

Yang Xiaoyun said with a smile: "My wisdom is limited, I really can’t think of anything."

"Then I can’t think of anything either."

Su Mo gently raised his eyebrows: "However, if it’s so lowly trick of Jianghu, we need to be cautious on this journey."

"Mm."

Yang Xiaoyun also nodded in agreent.

Not only that, if the opponent is truly as financially strong as they appear, there are many in Jianghu who would not hesitate to risk their lives for wealth.

And among such people, there are no lack of experts.

All in all, no matter how high one’s martial arts are, one must always be cautious.

Without further discussion on this matter, another day passed. After burying Ji Shuhua, Su Mo began his journey to Wusheng Hall.

Those accompanying him, aside from Yang Xiaoyun, included Zhen Xiaoxiao and Hu Sandao.

After this trip from Dongcheng, Su Mo found the condition inside Zhen Xiaoxiao’s body to be less than ideal.

The journey to Nanhai couldn’t be delayed much longer.

Having her follow along was a way to help catalyze the Inner Strength accumulated within her body, a temporary asure for relief.

Hu Sandao himself ca from the territory of Wusheng Hall; this trip was like a return to familiar pastures.

Although he might not necessarily have a deep understanding of the area, at least he knew more than Su Mo and the others, making him a good guide.

Other than people from the main force of the escort agency, the only addition was Xu Lu.

Knowing that Su Mo was going to head towards Wusheng Hall, he insisted on coming along.

Now that his injury had fully healed, it was unknown why he still hadn’t left, and even intended to co along on this trip...

If it weren’t for the fact that he had consud Su Mo’s ’poison’, Su Mo would suspect that he had so improper thoughts about the strange iron.

Their departure left the matters of the escort agency in the hands of Captain Zhang to manage for the ti being, ensuring peace of mind.

After the trip to Dongcheng, Fu Han Yuan had truly gained Su Mo’s trust.

Now promoted to Escort Master, he temporarily followed Liu Mo, going on several trips to get familiar with the rules.

After Captain Li returned, he could barely manage on his own, with Xiao Chuan following by his side to cover any oversights.

For now, if they need a large group to travel together, these people would be sufficient.

Although they were sowhat short on manpower, Su Mo would have to wait until after the journey to Wusheng Hall to start expanding his forces.

In comparison, the matter of Wusheng Hall was more urgent.

...

...

Departing from Luoxia City, the first destination was Jinyang City.

The journey was peaceful and uneventful, and it normally took seven days to reach Jinyang City.

This trip, starting at sunrise, they arrived before sunset the next day.

For Su Mo, it was also a revisit to familiar grounds.

It’s been two years since he transmigrated and reopened Ziyang Escort Agency, with the first commission being the escort of Li Yishu to Jinyang City.

Now thinking about it, it hasn’t been that long, but the experiences he’d had in this period were indeed nurous.

It gave him a sense of a world apart.

Yet the bustling streets of Jinyang City were just as lively as they were yesterday.
